tim kaine was out in virginia saying this bill has made virginia the laughing stock of the nation. i think it has. and the compromise bill that mcdonnell put forth today is worse than the original because it mandates in very early pregnancy, before a transabdominal ultrasound would even work, would even do anything. it mandates a woman undergo that procedure. so it's gone from being an invasive and unnecessary procedure to just completely useless and unnecessary procedure. let's keep in mind that governor mcdonnell ran on the campaign slogan, bob's for jobs. i'm not sure what this bill is doing to create jobs for virginians. >> let me ask you, delegate watts, when you see this, clearly they are responding to the protests and the outcry. but it seems to be more changing their positioning and posturing than their policy and legislation. what is going to happen now? how do we keep the resistance up? how do we back him all the way off. the house has passed this bill that he has proposed today. the senate is almost guaranteed to pass it. what's next? how do we stop it? >> you have put y
